Soleil Anadi, Maserati GranCabrio arrive at the same dock?

We knew something looked familiar about the Soleil Anadi. We're not talking about the Corvette styling cues that clearly shine through. No, there was something in the back(ground) of our minds that gave us a feeling of deja-vu. And then it hit us: it must have arrived at the same dock as the Maserati GranCabrio Sport. On the same day. With the clouds standing perfectly still.

Given that the Soleil Anadi is set to be unveiled next week in Monaco, one's bound to be parked next to a Maserati at some point. We just didn't realize that when it is, it'll be a tearful reunion of sorts.

I can expect the average Joe not to understand, but AB at least pretends to know the auto industry. They should know better that most of the images you see of cars these days are all renderings. Two companies using the same exact background isn't really that unheard, and it shouldn't really constitute as a "story".

Looks like more of a case of plopping the Vette overtop the Maserati in the image. The first thing I noticed is that the Vette looked abnormally larger, but if you look at the two pics you can see reflections from the Maserati pic that still remain in the Vette one. For example - look at the Maserati pic in high res. Underneath the wheels you can see a shadow (or more likely a reflection in the metal grid) of directly below the the tires. If you switch to the Vette pic, you can see those same shadows/reflections, but they no longer line up with the wheels (they now sit after the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels). I highly doubt they were allowed to do that.
